Disabled indexing, disabled hard drive power down in Power settings, check
all my programs, and task manager. Yet I still have EXTREMELY excessive
hard drive access. This is on a clean install.

Great job Microsoft. Take the one bottleneck in a system, and make it the
MAIN source of all activity on the system.

Vista is a steaming pile of crap!

XP is MUCH, MUCH, MUCH better.

Service Pack 3 should have been what we were waiting for. Not this
hyperreading hard drive thrasher.!!!

BTW, I have heard this from 3 other techs in my office. So it's not just my
pc. It's the entire Vista workgroup. Google "excessive vista hard drive
activity"

Microsoft really screwed the pooch with this one. XP is TONS better!

Hi,

Try turning Automatic Updates off.

Hope this helps

Yet, it didn't effect my computer like that at all. Simply amazing. I must
be the luckiest SOB on the planet.

Did mine. After a clean install here, my hard drive didn't stop
thrashing for almost 24 hours. I think it is the search indexing that
is to blame.

Disabling autoupdates is the first thing I did. I hate leaving all the
decisions about my pc to the almighty MS! I did a re-install on 2 other
systems with the same hardware, ALL VISTA COMPLIANT, and still the same
hard drive thrashing. There are discussions all over the net about this
problem..well, I bought it, but it's going on a machine that will only do
office work, not production work. Sad, all the video and sound programs
that will suffer rendering because of this!!!!!

Try Checking Your settings for Defrag.

I remember an old post, where someone else had a similar problem..

The solution was that the machine was doing an automatic defrag, everytime
they logged on..

I beleive you can go into computer management, then into Scheduled tasks,
and delete the defrag task from there.. .
